The Ugly Empress《丑娘娘》Chou Niang Niang
The Ugly Empress vol 1, Chapter 28: Peeping? Jealous? (Sweet stuffs)
Xue Yu put down his hand slowly, as if this kind of action is a common greeting, there is nothing and no lines crossed.
Xue Jun Liang had a faint smile on his face, and no one could not see his anger.
When they saw this situation, they could not help shivering in their hearts. They all knelt down and shouted long live the emperor.
Xue Jun Liang helped Teng Yun and said with a smile, "Zhen can't wait left, can't wait right, so you met here. Are you reminiscing about the past?"
Xue Yu knelt on the ground and said calmly, "Replying back to his majesty, the imperial brother hasn't been in the imperial capital for several years, I was feeling a lot."
The tone of Xue Jun Liang’s voice was a little enigmatic, and he said, "Oh yes, I will tell Zhen about the past for a while."
Then he motioned for the people to get well, and then he went to the garden.
When the imperial court officials have been waiting for a long time, a few people will pass.
Xue Jun Liang said a few polite words, and then the singer performed the dance. The Xue state's emperor and empress sat at the top, with Xue Hou Yang at the bottom. Then there was Xue Yu, who was not as good as the Marquis of Wannian in terms of seniority or rank. Just listen to the title and you will know which one Xue Jun Liang trusted more.
Xue Yu was well-dressed and not too eye-catching. He was gentle person with gentle manners. He looks good tempered and has a light smile all the time. However, his eyes always glance at the top intentionally or unintentionally.
Of course, it's not looking at Xue Jun Liang, but Teng Yun.
As the great imperial court official, it's the duty to observe the words and the actions. Naturally, Xue Yu's eyes were also found. He tried to pretend not to see them.
Today's Xue Jun Liang is also more and more gentle. He can almost squeeze water out of his voice with Teng Yun, which seems sticky sweet, Teng Yun doesn't need to raise his hand. Emperor Xue made dishes and pours tea for him, which seems to be a couple's good play.
Jiang Yu and Xiu Yao can't stand behind. Xiu Yao just wanted to wipe sweat on her forehead. Although she thinks that his majesty loves the empress, he hasn't reached the point of making foods for her. After all, this kind of work is not made for the emperor. Let them stand by themselves and the Imperial concubine will be somewhat scared.
Teng Yun glanced at Xue Yu sitting not far away. Of course, he knew that Xue Yu couldn't be deeply in love with empress. If that's the case, he had to endure for so many years. Why did he suddenly run to the imperial capital?
Xue Jun Liang used to use his forces against the Teng state. Although he is now in the position of victory, his country is empty and recovering. At this time, Xue Yu will come to the imperial capital and he will never be happy and calm.
Teng Yun doesn't want to get caught in the middle of the affairs of Xue Jun Liang and Xue Yu, but only if they don't mess with him. Because Teng Yun's current identity is the Great Princess of the Feng state, and being in the Xue state is also a kind of steward, so does Xue Jun Liang, and so does Xue Yu, they are often using him as a cover to fight their battles.
After three rounds of drinking, Teng Yun was tired of sitting. He didn't want to see their fake smiles. He told Xue Jun Liang that he was tired, so he left first.
Xue Jun Liang naturally wouldn't be angry, but also smiled vaguely and said, “Was it tiring last night? I was hard for you."
Teng Yun suddenly thought about last night's events. It's rare that he has a hot face and even the palm of his hand felt sweaty. He quickly blurted out and quit.
Teng Yun walked back with Xiu Yao. After drinking some wine, he seems to be intoxicated. He would not have been intoxicated before, but now he is weak, drunk and dizzy.
He didn't go back to his bedroom. He turned around in the small garden. It was cold. Although it was cold when the wind blew, he was very comfortable.
Xiu Yao, “Empress go back, it’s cold here. If you get sick again, you'll be in trouble."
Teng Yun said yes, but he didn't leave. He was dizzy. He didn't feel comfortable without cool winds blowing on his face. He didn't pay attention to any small sections in the barracks before. He didn't have many good conditions in the barracks. He ate and lived with the soldiers. The imperial court didn't give money every time, and the food and pay couldn't keep up with the other person. Blowing cool wind was also a kind of enjoyment.
Teng Yun recalled some past events, maybe the urge of drinking. He felt that he was in the intrigue of the Xue state, and he could not protect himself accidentally. He had not seen Teng Shang for more than half a month. Teng Shang was a man, and he could not often go to the palace.
Teng Yun sighed, and then someone sighed. A young man in a green shirt turned from the pavilion to the other end, just Xue Yu.
Xue Yu came over and said with a smile, “Why does empress sigh?"
Teng Yun didn't even look at him and said, “Why isn't lord Marquis at the banquet?"
Xue Yu smiled and took a step forward, then he said, "Naturally, it's because of sister Yun."
Xiu Yao took a breath, but she didn't dare to speak. She has been serving empress. She absolutely doesn't believe these two people are not acquaintances, but she has to believe Xue Yu's words.
Teng Yun also smiled, in a natural tone: "Lord Marquis is afraid to recognize the wrong person."
“That's what sister Yun said..."
Xue Yu was still smiling, just a little bit lost. It's like that. He said, “I think you must say that. There must be something difficult you want to say."
Teng Yun took a look at him and said, "Lord Marquis, go back. The banquet is a reception. Without Lord Marquis, it's not proper."
Xue Yu looked at the other person's cold expression, and his face changed a little at last, but he recovered his smile in an instant, “Sister Yun forgot our agreement..."
Teng Yun took another look at him. “I don't remember."
“Is it?" Xue Yu's face sank and sneered: “I should know... What did we say at the beginning? Are you really fickle? Emperor Xue has pampered you recently, making you forget what you should remember?"
When Xiu Yao saw the Marquis of Zhenjiang’s face changed. Her voice was a little scary. She said bravely, "Lord Marquis, Empress take care of yourself."
Xue Yu glanced at Xiu Yao coldly. He didn't take Xiu Yao seriously at all. He turned his head and stared at Teng Yun. As soon as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of a prerequisite.
The little crown prince Xue Pei came running around, jumped into Teng Yun’s arms and almost made Teng Yun stagger.
Xue Pei said naively, “Empress mother, Empress mother, why didn't you go back to the palace to make it easy for your son to find you?"
He said, looking at Xue Yu in surprise, he said: "Imperial uncle is also there. The imperial father is still looking for Imperial uncle everywhere. The imperial court officials wanted to toast, but they can't find anyone."
Xue Yu looked down slightly at Xue Pei's innocent appearance. Lang Jing, the counselor behind him, whispered "Lord Marquis"
Xue Yu then turned his eyes and said, “I've been drinking too much wine to hold my breath. I came here instinctively."
With that, he took Lang Jing back.
Xue Pei watched him go far, then reached out and patted his chest, then said: “Empress mother, how can you get along with such a sly and treacherous person?"
Teng Yun said with a smile, “How old are you? Can you see who a sly and treacherous person is?"
Xue Pei said: “This Imperial son will be a great general in the future. I want to go to the battlefield and settle down the country. Besides, I'm not young."
It is true that Xue Pei is almost eight years old. Although he started to study and shoot at the age of six, the influence of his studies is far less sophisticated than that of the imperial palace.
The children in the Forbidden Palace already know the false before they go to study in the study. Besides, Xue Pei is so intelligent.
Xue Pei consciously did a first-class good deed, which inevitably made him a little happy. When he looked up, he saw that Xue Jun Liang, the little crown prince, had been held by others since he was a child. Although he was petite, but Xue Jun Liang did not dote on him. The reward and punishment were very clear. Xue Pei always respected and feared him.
Seeing Xue Pei's smile, Teng Yun also saw Xue Jun Liang, who was followed only by Jiang Yu.
Xue Jun Liang came over, patted Xue Pei on the head and said, “How many drinks have you had?"
Xue Pei spit out his tongue, blew his puckered cheeks and said, “This imperial son only took two sips..."
As he said, he accidentally lifted Xue Jun Liang's smiling eyes, and then said: "Just... Just two."
“Come on," it's obvious that Xue Jun Liang's purpose is not to educate the little crown prince. He casually asked a few words and said, “You have to go to the study in the afternoon. Don't be lazy."
“This son knows."
Xue Pei nodded and left honestly.
Xiu Yao has been standing at the back felt his eyes, nose, nose and heart. Xue Jun Liang suddenly appeared. People with clear eyes can see that he was actually prepared. If the crown prince didn't kill Xue Yu, it would be Emperor Xue.
Xue Jun Liang said, “After a few drinks, Consort Ai will walk with Zhen."
When Teng Yun answered, he was also beating a drum in his heart. Listening to the voice of Xue Yu just now, it seems that the leader of the Feng state really had a connection with him before, and didn't seem to have feelings. If he had feelings, why did Xue Yu show that threatening expression?
Teng Yun just wanted to protect himself, and then leave the Xue state. He doesn't want to be used by Xue Jun Liang, and he doesn't want to have a relationship with anyone in the Xue state, but the reality is always different from the plans.
Xue Jun Liang said, “What's the difference between Consort Ai and the Marquis of Zhenjiang?"
Teng Yun squinted, only to reply, “This imperial consort and Lord Marquis have nothing to say." Hearing the impolite tone of Teng Yun, Jiang Yu and Xiu Yao suddenly jumped in their hearts. They didn't want to say Emperor Xue but laughed, “That's right."
Teng Yun said, “It's just the truth,"
"Um."
Xue Jun Liang pondered, "Zhen likes to be open and honest, and Consort Ai is really more and more surprising to Zhen."
After a pause, he said, "Let’s have the truth."
He said and waved, sending Xiu Yao and Jiang Yu far away.
“His majesty," said Teng Yun
Xue Jun Liang then continued: “Does Consort Ai have Xue Yu in his heart?"
"No."
Xue Jun Liang has been looking into Teng Yun's eyes, and was not surprised to hear his quick reply, then said: “I'm also honest, if Consort Ai says it, Zheng is dubious Zhen always thought that Consort Ai was smart, so Zhen wanted Consort Ai to come up with an idea to prove what you said. "
Teng Yun didn't speak, he was waiting for Xu Jun Liang's scheming.
Xue Jun Liang looked at his expression and smiled. He also reached out to gently rub the scar on Teng Yun's ear. He thought he didn't have deep feelings for this empress, but his own consort was watched by others, not to mention the emperor of a country. No one would feel comfortable to have wives hit on.
When Teng Yun was touched by him, his subconscious will always think of last night's events and shake for a while.
Xue Jun Liang looked at him with a reddish face and was in a good mood. He said: “Actually, it's very simple... The Marquis of Zhenjiang brought a thousand soldiers with him. Zhen just wanted to keep these 1000 people here and see if there was any good idea from Consort Ai on how I can go about it."
